B.C. has reported 6,288 new COVID cases over a 3-day period

Health Minister Adrian Dix and Chief Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry provide an update on COVID-19 on December 21, 2021.

Victoria, BC (WNews Vancouver) – British Columbia has reported another 3,223 new cases of COVID-19 and three additional deaths in Thursday’s update.

The majority of the cases and hospitalizations are new among the vaccinated with 83.5% cases from fully vaccinated. 58.9% of hospitalizations in the last two weeks have been among the fully vaccinated. The cases and hospitalization have been increasing among the vaccinated over the last month.

The update left B.C. with at least 31,877 active cases province-wide. There were two new deaths in Fraser Health and one in Northern Health.

There are 31,817 active cases of COVID-19 in the province, and 238,524 people who tested positive have recovered. Of the active cases, 324 individuals are in hospital and 90 are in intensive care. The remaining people are recovering at home in self-isolation.

The number of active cases in hospitals climbed by seven overnight to 324, while the number in critical or intensive care climbed by seven to 90.

There were also 16 new healthcare outbreaks, including at the Eagle Ridge and Royal Columbian hospitals, along with multiple long-term care facilities.

Of the new cases, 1,538 were in the Fraser Health region, 662 were in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 408 were in the Interior Health region, 194 in the Northern Health region, 417 were in the Island Health region.

The new/active cases include:

  • 1,538 new cases in Fraser Health
    • Total active cases: 14,794
  • 662 new cases in Vancouver Coastal Health
    • Total active cases: 9,594
  • 408 new cases in Interior Health
    • Total active cases: 2,807
  • 194 new cases in Northern Health
    • Total active cases: 850
  • 417 new cases in Island Health
    • Total active cases: 3,765
  • four new cases of people who reside outside of Canada
    • Total active cases: seven

Experts say the province’s daily confirmed case totals now significantly under-count the reality of the Omicron variant-driven spread of COVID-19 in the province, as the testing system is at capacity and PCR tests are being rationed for seniors and at-risk groups.

Earlier Thursday, the independent BC COVID-19 Modelling Group released a report suggesting that without current restrictions, the testing system would detect about 3.6 times as many cases as it is finding.

As of Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022, more than 4.4 million British Columbians, 88.4 percent of those eligible and 85 percent of B.C.’s population, had received one dose of vaccine. Of them, more than 4.14 million people, 83.1 percent of those eligible and 80 percent of B.C.’s population have had two doses.

The number of people with a third booster shot surpassed one million Thursday as they have accounted for 22.5 percent of those eligible and 20 percent of B.C.’s population.
